Fred Warner’s dramatic return to San Francisco 49ers practice sparks renewed hope for the team’s playoff push, but will his comeback be enough to fuel a run to the NFC Championship? Brian Peacock, Nick Winkler, and Eric Crocker break down the emotional impact on the locker room, weigh in on player health risks with tough injuries to George Kittle, and explore comparisons to past stars like Quan Alexander.

The crew tackles burning questions about Ricky Pearsall’s readiness, debates whether he’s making the smart choice or just lacking grit, and assesses how well the 49ers’ defense performed without their leader. Plus, with NFL head coach vacancies—including Mike Tomlin’s departure—will Robert Saleh be poached from the Niners? Stay tuned for playoff stats, Brock Purdy milestones, and a look ahead to the high-stakes showdown against the Seattle Seahawks.

San Francisco 49ers fans are treated to daily news and analysis with Locked On 49ers, hosted by football analyst Brian Peacock and former NFL/AFL cornerback Eric Crocker.

A pair of former North Dakota State quarterbacks will face off when Trey Lance trots out as QB3 for the San Francisco 49ers against Easton Stick and the Los Angeles Chargers. Still much to be decided in position battles at nickel cornerback, tight end, and on both offensive/defensive lines.
